Table 2.

Changes in skin potential (mV) with electrical grounding

Min. Max. Mean SE
Pre-grounding phase 38.92 1,414.40 415.29 54.4
Grounding phase 0.94 72.05 19.06 3.3

Twenty-six patients were tested before grounding and again after grounding. Connecting patients to electrical ground produced a >95% drop in skin potential.
